Summary
In 2020, the Victorian Government in Australia passed Great Ocean Road and Environs Protection Act 2020, declaring the Great Ocean Road and its environs to be a living and integrated natural entity. The legislation, which includes Traditional Owner language, reformed the management of the Great Ocean Road and its surrounding landscapes by establishing a Great Ocean Road Coast and Parks Authority and imbedding Traditional Owner knowledge and culture into management. The Authority is made up of various experts as well as a nominee from each specified Aboriginal party. The legislation is still active at the time of this summary.
